Helmets ... helmets ... and more helmets

[guest1]

My last post was on the new '07 pink Atmos helmet -- boy, do I like the look of that helmet, just not the price. While looking for a deal, I found a white/silver for almost 50% off, so ordered it. If nothing else, it will go with EVERYTHING! :D Now, I am wondering if I bought the wrong size because the deal was on a SMALL and I currently wear a MEDIUM with pads, but the pads are wearing the helmet is slipping a little -- both Giro, current model Ecplise. I measure on the border of SMALL/MEDIUM.

I guess I will know when the helmet arrives, but wondering if anyone else has this problem and what size they wear?! :confused: Thanks! :cool:

The small fits GREAT! I love the Atmos!! Seems I have been wearing the wrong size helmet for years ... glad I took the educated gamble and bought the small size!

Good for you! I was not so lucky with the Atmos, which 'fits' me, but not comfy on my head. :) My lost, Dear Partner's gain!

I always like my helmets to feel very snug. I HATE when they slide around, even a little bit, it's annoying.
I get confused in helmet sizes when they don't specify whtehr it's unisex or man's or woman's sizes. Is a woman's size Small helmet the same as a size small helmet that doesn't specify it's for women??

I think The only difference in most "women's" helmets is the color of the shell. I.e. a small Unisex would be a small women's.

The women's size is actually the same size shell as a "youth" helmet. The regular small is still just a little bit bigger than a woman's specific helmet.
